Orders of the Day — Building Billy Bishop Airport Act, 2026 / Loi de 2026 sur la construction de l’aéroport Billy Bishop

Orders of the Day — Building Billy Bishop Airport Act, 2026 / Loi de 2026 sur la construction de l’aéroport Billy Bishop

Orders of the Day — Building Billy Bishop Airport Act, 2026 / Loi de 2026 sur la construction de l’aéroport Billy Bishop
It’s my honour to rise in the House today to speak in support of Bill 110, the Building Billy Bishop Airport Act. Ontario, if it was a sole domain, would have one of the globe’s largest economies. Ontario is the economi…

Question Period — Northern Ontario development
Thank you for the question from our member from Algoma–Manitoulin. Northern Ontario’s economy is booming, and it’s booming because of our policies—whether it be tile drainage, critical minerals or, in fact, the junior e…
